Pence Reached His Limit With Trump. It Wasn’t Pretty.
NY Times ^

Posted on 01/12/2021 6:21:12 PM PST by springwater13

For Vice President Mike Pence, the moment of truth had arrived. After three years and 11 months of navigating the treacherous waters of President Trump’s ego, after all the tongue-biting, pride-swallowing moments where he employed strategic silence or florid flattery to stay in his boss’s good graces, there he was being cursed by the president.

Mr. Trump was enraged that Mr. Pence was refusing to try to overturn the election. In a series of meetings, the president had pressed relentlessly, alternately cajoling and browbeating him. Finally, just before Mr. Pence headed to the Capitol to oversee the electoral vote count last Wednesday, Mr. Trump called the vice president’s residence to push one last time.

Can’t you see what is going on here? They are trying to make it seem to the public that everyone is turning on Trump so that Americans will turn on him too.

Pence and others should start suing the Synagogue of Satan Times for libel.

I have reached my limit with backstabbing “Republic**ts” like Pence. That whole party should be scuttled.

You could not pay me to read a NY Times article.

Pence is slime and it has been known for years. Never reported due to the immense popularity of Trump among thinking free persons.

He is now revealed, and the gloves are off.

Unfortunately they’re listening and turning. Just went toe to toe with one the other night. I kid you not they’re hypnotized with this junk! Can’t even reason with them as all they do is spill out what the media’s feeding them like vomit!

Patriots! Refuse fake clickbait news.

If the 'source' won't own up, it's fake.

The left is trying to ignite a shooting war. Don't take the bait.

If Patriots will hang together...they can win the House in the mid terms and impeach Kamala just for grins.

Stop the friendly fire......
